00:00...to go through as 250 East begins right here.
00:04It will include the Supercross debut of Caden Dudney on the 82 right there in the middle,
00:08who won SMX Next a few weeks ago.
00:10Revs are up for the first time this year and down for 250 East.
00:15And Dudney is going to grab the whole shot.
00:19Got Cole Davies, his teammate, right there.
00:21And Jaleek Swole in the third position of Factory Triumph Racing.
00:26Like Davies wrestling in a way.
00:28What a start to the rookie.
00:30Had a rookie last year with Cole Davies.
00:32Now new rookie Caden Dudney getting a fantastic start,
00:36but comes up short on the triple out of the corner.
00:39Swole gets by.
00:40Great run by Swole there to take over second.
00:43Missed all of Supercross last year with a torn Achilles,
00:46and he is back with a vengeance.
00:49Got Luke Neese, Cohen Park coming through next,
00:51but Cole Davies doing what he was expected to do,
00:53and that's going very fast.
00:56No surprise to see this from Cole Davies.
00:59And, man, this guy, you want to talk about riding style and form on a motorcycle.
01:03He is a lot of fun to watch, super impressive.
01:07And his whoop entry is absolutely incredible,
01:11just how his positioning on the motorcycle is superb.
01:16Now this section right here, triple, triple,
01:18and then they'll eventually quad into the corner.
01:21Massive, massive rhythm lane.
01:23Had a chance to ask in his second pro year, Cole Davies,
01:27what his goals were for the season?
01:29I mean, just limit the mistakes.
01:32You know, you win it on your bad nights.
01:34Limit the mistakes, have some good nights,
01:37and hopefully get some wins,
01:39and just have a good season all around.
01:41Just positive, keep it good,
01:43and it's right to my potential.
01:47Look at that.
01:49Tabletop, tabletop.

02:09Every race, another chance to win,
02:11and that's the case for Cole Davies as well,
02:14pulling away a bit from Swole and Dudley.
02:17Yeah, I love the drone shot right there through the whoops.
02:20The whoops are very tricky tonight,
02:22and why they are tricky is because there's 11 whoops,
02:26and they're slick as well,
02:27so guys will be dancing.
02:29That back end will be dancing left to right.
02:31Not a lot of grip there.
02:32This is Drew Adams on the left of the 35,
02:35looking to move forward.
02:36He's got Marshall Welton on the MX-6 Kawasaki 65,
02:40and Devin Simons of the Club of X Yamaha
02:43getting another shot.
02:44Picked up a great ride with that team last year.
02:46Broke its wrist.
02:46They brought him back.
02:47Here comes Adams trying to work.
02:50Welton, the veteran out of Michigan.
02:52Adams makes the move.
02:53Yeah, fantastic pass by Drew Adams.
02:56Has the inside.
02:57That's the advantage line there,
02:59and Adams, he was on kind of the same progression as Davies,
03:02so got to be some incentive there to want to match what Davies is doing.
03:07It's great to see Adams running up front here early on.
03:11Yeah.
03:11A couple of years ago,
03:12he was battling Davies for those SMX next wins.
03:15JT.
03:16He sure was, Weijin,
03:17and really you look at the difference as he makes a big mistake there.
03:20A lot of this has been about the starts as they both transition to the professional level.
03:25Look at the lap times.
03:26There's not a lot of difference there.
03:28Both of them have the skill set,
03:29but Cole Davies again here starts in second,
03:32gets the lead immediately,
03:33and Drew Adams once again is battling through draft,
03:36and you look back through their professional careers,
03:38a lot of it could be,
03:39you could draw an immediate parallel to their first lap position.
03:42Let's take a look at that bottom screen with Duttony there,
03:46all over Swole.
03:47This guy was racing the SMX next class in the West Division races,
03:53what was that, four weeks ago?
03:55He won that race,
03:57and unbelievable to see him now making the pro debut.
04:01Looks like a completely different rider.
04:03Woo!
04:03Drew Adams trying the outside line.
04:05Can he get Swole here?
04:07Swole shuts it off,
04:08but what's even more impressive,
04:10this is a quick call-up for the 82,
04:12and look at how quickly he's learning lessons in Supercross.
04:15Oh, now Nate Thrasher is going to join the party on the 25,
04:19and he goes by them both!
04:20Oh, he tries to get a two-for-one,
04:22and he does!
04:24Straight up the inside,
04:25those guys didn't expect that.
04:28Great to see Nate getting up there,
04:30making a money move for sure.
04:33Wasn't that spectacular in qualifying practice?
04:37This is a massive turnaround,
04:39but like we talked about at the top of the show,
04:42to be expected.
04:43This guy has won a lot of,
04:45I say a lot of races,
04:46six races,
04:47but those wins came at huge moments against some great guys.
04:52So Dundee now going to deal with Cullen Park there on the 49,
04:56and then Adams and Simonson who are still battling.
04:58It's close everywhere except for the lead,
05:02as it's six seconds,
05:04the gap between Davies and everybody else.
05:09Grasher working on the consistency.
05:11That has been the issue within the last couple of years.
05:14You mentioned those wins.
05:15Winning race is not a problem.
05:17Here's Adams working on Park,
05:19who's on the Phoenix Honda.
05:21I talked to Adams earlier in the week.
05:22He thought the starts,
05:24they worked very hard.
05:25He was very confident with the bike,
05:27and what work he's done,
05:28that they were going to have it dialed,
05:29didn't work in the heat,
05:30and they're catching Dundee now.
05:32Well, the challenge for Drew Adams
05:34is going to be those starts all season long,
05:36because he is a bigger in stature guy,
05:39a little bit heavier than some of his competitors,
05:42and that's going to, you know,
05:44rob a little bit of horsepower down on that 250 machine.
05:47So he's going to have his work cut out for him
05:51in improving in that area
05:52and having to come through the pack at times,
05:55but he's doing a fantastic job in this heat race right now.
05:58Rotter out of Chattanooga, Tennessee,
06:00battling right now with Park.
06:03See if he goes to the inside there
06:04to try to make a move like Nate,
06:06but he doesn't.
06:11Colin Perk was very fast
06:13in qualifying practice earlier today,
06:15riding well on that Phoenix Honda.
06:19Colin running very good through the whoops.
06:21He had a really good whoops speed.
06:24Huge help,
06:25and this is that big rhythm lane right here.
06:27Some of the 250 guys
06:28not able to go triple, triple, quad.
06:32White flag coming out here for Davies
06:34as Adams and Park,
06:37probably the two biggest guys out here.
06:39Park pretty large in stature
06:41for a Supercross racer in his own right
06:43as they fight for fifth.
06:45If you watch this racetrack right now
06:48and going through the whoops, Jason,
06:49I mean, it is,
06:51they're flying through there,
06:52but those whoops are going to go away.
06:55We saw how deteriorated they got
06:58in qualifying practice.
06:59They got beat down.
07:01They got slick.
07:02They got edgy.
07:04Some guys jumping through there.
07:07Some guys blitzing.
07:08They are going to be a challenge,
07:10and that's where the money
07:11is going to be made
07:12here later on tonight
07:14come main event time.
07:16And time is running out,
07:17and this one as Park now goes after Dudney,
07:20who again making his pro debut
07:22in Supercross,
07:23and meanwhile,
07:25checkered flag is out,
07:26and upside down over the finish
07:28goes Cole Davies.
07:30That is his fourth career heat race win
07:32beginning of his second
07:33full Supercross campaign.
07:36And we're going to watch the battle
07:37for the final spot here.
07:38Welton trying to hold off.
07:40Isaiah Clark.
07:41Welton on that green.
07:42Kawasaki is ninth.
07:44Clark is tenth.
07:45Only one of these two
07:46will go in through the heat,
07:48and it looks like it's going to be Welton,
07:50and Clark's headed
07:51to the last chance qualifier.
07:54Shout out to Henry Miller up ahead.
07:57Oh, Clark made it in.
07:57Oh, wow.
07:59Not sure what flipped there
08:00on that last lap.
08:01Yeah, I was looking at the timing
08:02and scoring up here in the booth,
08:04and yeah,
08:04it has him in ninth position.
08:07Interesting.
08:07They'll take it any way
08:08they can get it.
08:09We know this.
08:10Cole Davies, no doubt,
08:12a heat race win
08:13with an exclamation point here.
08:14We'll see you next time.
08:19We'll see you next time.
08:20We'll see you next time.
08:22We'll see you next time.
08:23We'll see you next time.
08:23We'll see you next time.
08:23We'll see you next time.
08:23We'll see you next time.
08:24We'll see you next time.
08:24We'll see you next time.
08:24We'll see you next time.
